Ultra-fast light ray effects

Sunshine through clouds, headlights in fog, or light rays sweeping a logo: Trapcode Shine does it all. Create 3D volumetric light effects without leaving your 2D editing timeline, and without the tedious render times of specialized 3D applications. Choose from 22 compelling Shine presets, or make your own light rays from scratch. Support for 16- and 32-bit guarantees high-quality effects for every project.

Powerful interface

Multi-color presets

For movie titles, choose from multi-color presets such as simple fire, green X-Ray, and Radioaktiv. Or for more subtle effects, you can extract colors from an existing logo or title, or make beveled effects with the alpha edges feature.

Shimmering controls

Flexible shimmer settings let you create automatic, loopable variations that add visual interest to light effects without the rendering overhead of complex compositing. Shimmer controls can also be used to create seamless loops of any desired length for attractive DVD backgrounds.

Trapcode Shine: a must-have plug-in

Trapcode Shine is a must-have plug-in. It simulates high-quality volumetric light effects like those produced by advanced 3D programs.
Very easy to use and the results are looking very good.
Recommended. Speedy service and unrivaled online support. Toolfarm rocks !!!

Great for transitions and quick volumetric lighting.

Shine is probably the simplest tool in the Trapcode Suite, but it's definitely proven its worth to me more times than I can count.
Volumetric lighting is very "expensive" in 3D apps, and so it's fantastic to have a rapid-rendering, easy to use workaround sitting right in After Effects.
We also use Shine extensively as a sharp-looking transitional tool. It's a great accent to an otherwise dull wipe-transition!

Great plugin for Light Rays!

Trapcode Shine was my first plugin that I bought and I didn't regret it. You can use it to make your comps more realistc or just to make your title pop! Especially the multi colored Rays are great. The really do look great.
I Like it!
